Solid angle subtended by a cylindrical detector
at a point source in terms of elliptic integrals

Abstract
The solid angle subtended by a right circular cylinder at a point source located
at an arbitrary position generally consists of a sum of two terms: that defined by
the cylindrical surface (?cyl) and the other by either of the end circles (?circ). We
derive an expression for ?cyl in terms of elliptic integrals of the first and third kinds
and give similar expressions for ?circ using integrals of the first and second kinds.
These latter can be used alternatively to an expression also in terms of elliptic
integrals, due to Philip A. Macklin and included as a footnote in Masket (Rev. Sci.
Instr., 28 (3), 191-197, 1957). The solid angle subtended by the whole cylinder when
the source is located at an arbitrary location can then be calculated using elliptic
integrals.
Key words: solid angle, point source, cylindrical detector, cylinder, elliptic
integrals
1 Introduction
The knowledge of the solid angle (?) subtended by a right, finite, circular
cylinder at a point isotropic source is required in numerous problems in nu-
clear and radiation physics. Generally, ? can be expressed as sum of two
components: that subtended by the cylindrical surface (?cyl) and the other by
either of the end circles (?circ). Through the years this calculation has been
addressed by various authors using different methods. Without the worry of
